A CROOKED Rwma.—Speaking of the Rio
'Grande 'a recent writer says—"lmagine
four of the crookedst things in the world,
then imagine four more twice, as crooked,
;and fancy to yourself a large river three
times as crooked as all these put together,
.and you have a faint idea of the crooked
disposition of this crooked river. There is
,no drift in it, from the fact that it is so
-crooked that timber can't find its way far
-enough down to lodge two sticks together;
hut few snakes,.because it is not straight
enough to swim in,
and the fish are all in
the whirlpools in the bends, because they
can't find their way out. Birds frequently
attempt to fly across the river, and light on
- the same side they start from, being de
ceived by the different crooks ! Indeed, you
tthay be deceived when you think you are
-SUM it; and some of the b'hoys say it is
-so twisting there is but one side to it.
MORAL DARKNESS.-At the anniversary
'of the Home Missionary Society in London,
Mx. Scott, chamberlain of London, said that
.he had formerly spent twenty years of his
life in London, and since twenty years in
- the country, and he must say there was
more darkness, ignorance degradation,
- heathenism, in the rural districts, so far as
he had seen, than existed in London and the
larger towns, there being many agencies at
work in the latter which were not to be
found in the villages.
A STRANGE .Furtmten.—Thos. B. Leigh
ton, a man of wealth, who died at the Isle
of Shoals, near Portsmouth, N. H., a few
-days ago, desired to have no religious rites
jerformed at his funeral, and was buried,
according to his request, on Appledore
Island, between two granite rocks, on one
.of which he wanted his initials cut. He
was formerly a prominent Democratic poli
itician in New Hampshire, but had lived for
many years on a small island, in the Shoals
group, refusing even to visit the main land,
lest the boat might sink in the passage.
STRANGE Summx.—.Tohn P. Gray, a lad
about twelve years of age residing; /th his
parents, in Providence, R. 1., was so much
excited by the passing of themenagerie and
circus a day or two since, that he went up
into the attic and hanged' himself. He was
dead when discovered.

The English edition of the Bible illustrated
by Gustave Dore is published by Messrs.
Cassel, Petter Jr Galpin, of London, in
monthly parts. It is furnished to Philadel
phia subscribers by Mr. C. J. Price, No. 21
South Sixth street. There are to be fifty
five numbers, sold separately at one dollar
each, or to subscribers at ten dollars a year,
giving twelve numbers. The first three
numbers are received, and the illustrations
are marked with all the great artist's finest
characteristics; imagination, power, origi
nality and a knowledge of effect in drawing
that has rarely been equaled. Dord is for
tunate in his engravers, several of those in
the numbers now out, by Pisa, Laplante
and others, being remarkable for wood-cuts.
Thcse wishing to secure this grand edition
of the Bible should subscribe promptly at
Mr. Price's, for the early impressions from
the plates will of course be the best. The
text is ofcourse the received Oxford edition
of the Bible, and the letter press is very
handsome.

NEW PITELICATION'S:
In addition to the June magazines here
tofore mentioned, we have received "Hours
At Home," "The Galaxy," and "The Catho
lic World:" "Hours at Home," is a capital
number, containing, a great variety of in
teresting matter. "The Patriotic Record of
Yale College," and the sketches of John Jay
and General Grant, are particularly good.
The agent for "Hours at Home" is Mr. T.
B. Pugh. "The Catholic World" is a
monthly devoted to general literature and
science, and is now in its third volume.
Most of its matter is original, interspersed
with good selections from various sources.
The agent in Philadelphia is Mr. J. R.
Downing, 139 South Eighth street. "The
Galaxy" continues "The Claverings" and
"Archie Lovell," and Profesaor Blot's essay
on the Art.of Dining. There are several'
other excellent articles in this number of
this capital magazine.
" A Thousand a Year" is a very' pretty
story, published in beautiful style by Lee &
Shepard, Boston. It t giVes the experiences
of a New England clergyman and his family
in their efforts to " make both ends meet,"
in the midst of a fashionable and exacting
congregation, on "a thousand a year." The
story is cleverly told, although the authoress,
Mrs. E. M. Bruce, is evidently unconscious
that she is making her hero and heroine ex
hibit a great deal too much of moral weak
ness, in their easy compliance with the re
quirements of their inconsiderate people.
The book contains many wholesome hints
both for pastor and flock, in more parts Of
the world than one. For Sale by G. W.
Pitcher.
The sixth volume of Little, Brown d Co.'s
elegant revised edition of "The Works of
Edmund Burke" has been received from
the Philadelphia agent, Jas. K. Simon, 33
South Sixth street. It includes some of the
most important and famous of the political
letters on affairs in France, America, Ire
land and England. Nothing can surpass
the elegance and correctness of the typogra
phy of this edition, and the paper and bind
ing are in keeping.
Murray's "History of Usury," recently
published by J. B. Lippincott S. Co., is an
interesting retsunie of the laws and practices
of 'usury both in ancient and modern times,
The object of the author is to show the falla
cy of all usury laws, and to urge the " free
trade " principle in lending and borrowing
money. The work displays much research,
and is a valuable treatise on this important
subject.
The reprints of the English reviews, by
Leonard Scott do Co., deserve the most libe
ral support. We have received through W.
B. Zeiber the Westminster and the London
Quarterly for April. Both are excellent,and
the Westminster is especially interesting.
"The Gospel of Health." This is the title
of a new monthly, edited by Dr. R. T. Trail,
of New York, and for sale in this city by
Professor J. L. Capen, No. 25 South Tenth
street. It is full of valuable Hygienic in

.Proeeedings in the British Par-
liament.
FurUler Foreign New.
= In the House of Lords, Lord Houghton (
referring to the intelligence recently
ceived of the' bombardment of Valparaig )
by the Spanish fleet, asked what instinct '
tions had been given to Admiral Dennis — al
whoae conduct in not actively intertaninit
to prevent the attack had been severatelkh
dunned by the British reaidents whngte pL7I.-
perty had been destroyed.
The Duke of Somerset, in replVref gktbe•
instructions given to Commodore ,- lEtirvey,
and to Admiral Denman, his atfliksOY- - #i
command of the Pacific sqUitlednositieli
were in effect to use all frienillyiWoAktdc

to depart from the observance ur theatrics-l
est neutrality. As fall notice give
the Spanish Admiral of theititefftledifitureci

right, and Admiral Denham: heriircirel onlye
obeyed his instructions Ty'iitt reating;the,l
action of the Spanish-Ileet:'L - Tfiella'se-orlife
had happily been s

cost of the foreigumerchtirl, but notice
had been given thezdadine time, previously__
to remove their properiy„ which thex.had
omitted to do, neileving.; posSibly,: that no
attack would ,be made: upon.. an unarmed
and unoffending town.; • -
Lord Dninutrty thought Adirtiral,,Denman
had been unjustly attacked, and remarked
that he had only , a wooden ship - while the
Spaniards had iron-clads.
The Duke of =Somerset replied -that An
ironclad would Shave been of no use to
Admiral Denman,.who only obeyed hia in
structions by remaining neutral.
In the' Honike of Commons, Sir L. Palk
took occasion 'of, the - , annual motion to ad
journ over the Derby daytoesk for informa
tion as to the recent bonibardment of Valpa
raiso, and particularly_for an explanation of
Admiral Denman's conduct..
Admiral Walcott defended Admiral Den
man with great warmth, and Sir J. Hay and
Admiral Seymour in the same tone ex
pressed their confident belief that he had
acted in conformity with his orders.
Mr. Liddell condemned in strong lan
guage the bombardment of an unarmed
city, and asked whether the Chilean Govern
ment had requested the withdrawal of our
Llharg,e d'Affaires, and, if • so, on what
ground.
Colonel Edwards read some extracts from
resolutions passed by the British merchants
at 'Valparaiso, tending to show that it was
owing to the assurances of the British Ad
miral and the British Minister that the city
had been left undefended.
Mr. Graves pressed on the House the se
rious injury inflicted on British interests by
the conduct of our Admiral and Minister,
and asked whether instructions would be
sent out to prevent the repetition of such a
barbarous outrage.
Mr. Layard narrated in detail the various
steps which had been taken by the British
government in concert with France and the
United States to restore a good understand
ing between Spain and Chile, and avert the
bombardment, charging the Spanish gov
ernment with something like equivocation
and misleading us as to their intentions to
bombard Valparaiso, but at the same time
asserting that the British merchants had
ample notice of it, and might have removed
their property in time had they chosen to
accept the fair and moderate conditions of
the Chilean government. The statement
contained in the resolutions of the British
merchants, that the American commander
had offered, if the British commander
would join him, to stop the bombardment
was untrue. No such oder was ever made.
[Hear, hear.] On the contrary, the Ameri
can Minister admitted the right of the Span
ish commander to bombard Valparaiso; he
himself bad come down from Santiago to
prevent the bombardment by remonstrance
if possible, but it does not appear that either
he or Commander Rodgers had the slightest
intention of otherwise interfering for the
purpose of stopping it, [Hear, hear.] Nor
is there any truth in the statement that
Admiral Denman ever advanced the plea
that he had not a sufficient force to protect
the British interests; for Admiral Denman
had stated that had his force been ten times
greater than that of the Spanish Admiral,
he could not have interfered. Moreover,
'I was informed to-day by the Spanish
minister that when the American com
mander went on board the Spanish flagship
and remonstrated with the Spanish Com
mander, he said—l believe more by way of
joke than otherwise--" Supposing I were to
put my ships between you and the town,
what would happen?" The reply was:
"You are a sailor and lam a sailor; yon
know what, your duty would be under the
circumstances, and you know, therefore,
how I should fulfill mine. If you put your
ships between me and the town, it will be
my duty to sink them." Upon this the
American commander shook the Spanish
commander warmly by the hand, and said:
"I perfectly understand you; I should do the
same were I. in a similar position.
Much as we may condemn the acts of the
Spanish commander, we must remember
that they were performed in fulfillment of
his duty as an officer, and that he was
bound to obey the orders of his govern-
Ment. The f3panish admiral took the
greatest possible care not to injure private
property in Valparaiso; the fire was wholly
directed against two or three buildings and
the railway station. It is true that one of the
principal buildings was the Custom House,
and that, that contained a - large amount of
British property; but the Spanish admiral
carefully avoided firing a single shot into the
town. except as against public buildings. The
inhabitants had ample time to leave the
place; there were only two persons acci
dentally killed by the bombardment, and
they were a woman and child; and, there
were some other persons killed by a wall
falling on them whilst attempting to put
out a fire; but, with these exceptions, no
lives were lost. Therefore, the . Spanish
commander appears to have carried oat his
instruction's with as much 'humanity as
possible; but I will not conceal from the
house
_that the bombardment has made a
very painful impression upon the minds
of her Majesty's government. [Cheers.]
We had hoped that the time had

A CORPS of workmen are preparing a
portion of the Seven Pines battle field with
a view to its conversion into a National
Cemetery for the reception of the Federal
dead who fell on the fields of Seven Pines,
Savage Station, Frazers' Farm and Malvern
Hill. The cemetery contains two or more
acres, but has not yet been enclosed. About
eleven hundred bodies have been disin
terred, placed in neat coffins and given de
cent Christian burial. 'Very few of the
bodies disinterred were recognized, and
they were buried, the headstones of their
graves proclaiming them "unknown." The
disinterments and reinterments were being
made at the rate of about fifty per day.
The Cold Harbor National Cemetery has
been completed and dedicated. It contains
upward of two thousand dead, eight hun
dred of whom are known.
,THE LUMBER TRADE OF THE EAST.—The
lumbering business on the St. Croix gives
employment to about five hundred teams
and two thousand men. There are on the
river thirty-one gangs and nine single saws.
Seventy-three million feet of logs. were
drivenlast year, and during the last few
years Calais, Me., and St. Stephen's have
averaged sixty-two millions of feet of the
lumber that has been shipped.

A witty Frenchman once said of English
men, in their recreations, "that they amused
themselves dolefully, according to the cus
tom of their country," and there is a not
uncommon idea that clergymen do likewise,
"according to the custom of their profes
sion," but there was certainly nothing very
doleful in the quips and laughter during the
knee-trying experiment of climbing Pilot
Knob. One Reverend gentleman muttered.
something about its taking "an iron will to
get up an Iron - Mountain." Marshal
Richardson stopped, and to encourage those
who were getting weak in the knees, waved
his flag; another shouted that "nothing but
unflagging efforts would ever get one to the
top." One gentleman said it was quite a
feat; another retorted that he "was told it
was 581;" another one added that it gave
rise to a good deal of blowing; people's faces
got red from the exertion; Miss Budd was
was jocosely reminded that she looked
more like a blossom," and so at last the
whole company got to the summit with
breath enough left to sing the old fashioned
Nmn, "My country, 'tis of thee," at Dr.
elson's suggestion, as they clustered
around the pinnacles of rock—or iron,
rather—and looked around at the magnifi
cent prospect.
Rev. Mr. Starr, of this city, in a few brief
remarks, welcomed the delegates to Pilot
Knob, a point not'. din geography, geology,
and the history of the war; and to free Mis
souri.
Rev. Mr. Hopkins, Moderator, responded
briefly, and closed by saying, that though
the Church's motion as "Excelsior! Higher!
Higher!" he had never expected to see it
get quite so high on any one occasion as the
present. -
Dr. Nelson then addressed the company,
saying that he supposed they were some
what in the same lix as a surveyor once
among the bills of Vermont, who had been
commissioned to' define a long disputed
boundary line between two land owners,
and who, after running a great many
zigzags, at last sat down upon a log, com
pletely tangled as to his 'whereabouts,
until a farmer came along, and he asked
him to tell him where he was; this being
done after a good deal explanation. "Now
sir," said the confused surveyor, "you have
told me where I am, please tell me who I
am." Dr. Nelson said he would tell them
where they were, and he would , leave it to
Mr. Knox, of Utica, New York, to tell
them who they were. He then proceeded
to give some statistics in regard to the va
rious mountains of iron, and to point out
the most interesting objects in view. "Pilot
Knob," on which the company then stood,
was five hundred and eighty-one feet above
the bloomery at its base, covered an area of
three hundred and sixty acres, and was
estimated to contain 13,9%,773 tons of pure
iron, (the ore yielding, as it was now
smelted. about 60 per cent., but really con
taining 75 per cent.) It was just eighty-six
miles south of St. Louis.
"Shepherd Mountain t " one mile and a
third to the southward, is six hundred and
sixty feet high, covers eight hundred acres
and its ore yields 68 83-100 per cent. of iron.
"Iron Mountain." distant six miles from
Pilot Knob, was 228 feet high, covers,an
area of 500 acres, and estimated to contin,
of pure iron, 230,187,375 tons.
"The Artesian Well," near Iron Moun
lain—the Doctor said—had been sunk to
only a depth of 152 feet; penetrating first
various strata of rock to the depth of 90 feet;
then passes through a vein of iron ore five
feet thick; next through porphyritic rock
seven feet; next through iron ore 50 feet.
Dr. Nelson then pointed out a little earth
work. fort in the valley below and
. gave an
interesting sketch of General Ewing's he
roic defence of it with his force, about SOO
men, against Mr. Sterling Price and his
10,000.
After the close of Dr. Nelson's address,
there was a resolution to present the thanks
of the General Assembly to Mr. S. D. Barlow
for his courtesy in inviting them to make
the present excursion. The Rev. James
McCosh was then called upon for a prayer,
and the exercises on the mountain were
closed by the whole company singing Old
Hundred.
By one o'clock the company had all come
down from the mountain and were scattered
about in grassy, shady places, making a
vigorous attack on their lunch baskets, and
so, what with strolling about the hills and
the battle ground, the time passed until
about two o'clock, when the excursion train
started on its return to the city.
The Assembly will meet again, according
to adjournment, this morning, at the First
Presbyterian Church, and will probably
close its present session on Monday, the 28th.

The Bourganani-Eaton case.
The recent remarkable elopement of an
Italian adventurer, (who seven years ago
wedded the widow of Gen. Eaton) with the
grand-daughter of his wife, has created a
sensation in political and fashionable cir
cles, both in this city and in Washington.
It has also revived the public interest in the
unfortunate wife, who at one time may
have been said to have controlled the fate
of the country, or at least to have been the
chief cause of a change in some of its most
important , political relations. She was
originally a Mrs. Trowberlake and subse
quently married General Eaton, who was
BO intimately connected with Generaljack
son during his Presidency. The political
jcomplications with which General and Mrs.
;Eaton were mingled are well remembered.

I ~" e possessor of his large estate. She also

Wednesday in the steamer to Europe, ac
companied by his granddaughter, who by
his means has been rendered but too well
skilled in sin and deceit.
A more heartless, dastardly case of com
plicated crime has seldom been recorded.
Since the departure of the chief actor in this
strange tragedy, various new facts have
been brought to light. It has been ascer
tallied that Bourganani, though according
to his statement, "alone in the world," has
two brothers residing in this city or vicinity,
one of whom is a man of some means. The
existence of these relatives has been suc
cessfully concealed from his wife and
adopted family for a period of seven years,
arid has only been discovered by accident.
It has also been ascertained that although
in his farewell letter to his benefactress and
wife, he states that he has made provision
for her maintenance, such provision is of
the most dubious character, the $2O per
week promised being altogether in the
power of some mysterious confederate, who
can, at any time, refuse to advance the mo
ney. The letter also states that $l,OOO due
from the sale of a cottage belonging to his
wife, will shortly be placed in her hands,
but for this statement also there is no evi
dence save his own word,under the dream
stances no very trustworthy Security. It
also seems that the Italian has not only
robbed his wife of her all; but has also col
lected some $2,000 belonging to the grand
daughter, his victim, so that in reality the
villain has absolutely deprived the two wo
men wholly dependent upon him of every
dollar that they possess in the world. The
amount of money with which he has de
camped will exceed, it is ascertained,
$40,000 in gold.
In brief, a case exemplifying more love,
more scoundrelism, more generosity and
more baseness, more blind trust and more
utter profligacy, ingratitude and worthless
ness has seldom or never been made public.
Skillful lawyers have been engaged by the
friends of the deserted wife to ascertain if
the law can have any holdupon the fugitive,
but we fear that he has escaped all chance of
justice.
In its moral aspect alike, and its social,
whether we consider the crimes themselves,
or the historical status of some of the par
ties, the Bourganani-Eaton case seems des
tined to rank among the "causes celebres."—

The Kingdom of Italy.
Since the union, in 1860, of the provinces
of the new kingdom of Italy, considerable
attention has been paid to the collection of
government statistics—a department being,
attached to the Ministry of Agriculture, In
dustry and CoMmerce, aided by Councils,
in all the Prefectures of the kingdom. The
last census ivas taken on the night of the
31st of December, 1861, when.the population
was found to be 21,704,000. At the rate of
progress since observed, on the Ist of. Jan
uary in this year it is estimated to be about
22,300,000. The population is mostly agri
cultural, the largest cities being very infe
rior in number of inhabitants to the great
cities and commercial towns in England.
Florence will, no doubt., rapidly increase,aa
the seat of government; but at the date of
the census it had only ;14,000 inhabitants;
Naples, 417,000; Turin, 180,000; Milan, 219,-
000, and Palermo, 186,000. Great activity
prevails in extending the lines of railway to
attract the traffic of the East to the Italian
coasts of the Adriatic. The completion of
the Mount Cenis tunnel and a projected Al
pine railway over the St. Gotham', are ex
pected by the Italians to give them a large
share in the transit of light goods and pas
sengers when the Suez Canal is opened.
The products of the soil of Italy—oil, wine,
rice, cotton, silk—its vast tracts of unex
plored mineral grounds, and thousands of
square miles of land which only require
scientific irrigation to render them the most
fertile in Europe—open up a great future for
her commercial enterprise, to which, under
the new Government, the greatest attention
is being given. The most difficult problem,
at present, is the financial condition of
Italy. Wishing to, and, perhaps, partly
under the necessity of maintaining a large
army'at heavy cost relative to the present
revenue of the country, Italians yet object
to the curresponding sacrifices, though at
present but lightly taxed as compared with
other countries. The public debt is already
£176,000,000, and it is advancing at the rate
of £8,000,000 to:£10,000,000 a year. The only
remedy is a large reduction of the army, or
a much heavier taxation. It appears pro
bable the Italians will choose the latter,
which the increasing wealth of the country
and development of its resources will render
eaaierr to bear.
